One is luxury, one is practical. I would go for the practical no doubt.

Re: New Roof & Siding vs. New Patio
Do you NEED a new roof and siding? Do you NEED a new patio? If the patio is rotting and splitting, it could be a safety issue, and that would take priority if the roof was OK. If the roof is leaking, then that has a very high priority. If everything is OK, and you just want to update stuff, I would lean toward the roof and siding. It will give the entire house an huge change in the look, and will give you 15-20 years before you need to worry about the roof again.

We have no patio or deck right now. The roof and siding are very old.

Roof and Siding!
To me that is a major thing of the house and not a luxury so to speak as a patio would be.

Re: New Roof & Siding vs. New Patio
roof & siding 100%.
a new roof & new siding will have a positive effect on your heating & cooling costs & help you save some money. If the windows are old you should replace them before getting a patio too, the money you'll save on energy will get you that patio faster.
Also the damage that can happen from a failing roof isn't worth the risk.

I completely agree plus it adds value to your home and gives your great curb appeal.
